mrs gamez is there books in the library about the camp you told me to do.

Mrs. Gamez

1/25/2011 11:15:53 am

Hey Kiddos,

A couple of things:

You will probably have to check the public library as our school library doesn't have many resources.

You can also use google books. Go to google.com and in the search bar, type google books. You will have to type in the subject you are searching for.

I'm glad to know that you guys are working on your projects :)

Abast2

and one more thing whats the tittle page soupposed to look like???

Mrs. Gamez

1/25/2011 12:37:09 pm

Hi Amber,

Yes, your first page is the title page. If you go to class documents you can download the sample paper and delete my information and include your own. The second page has the title centered at the top and you start typing your information under that.

Please let me know if you have any more questions.

Mrs. Gamez

For Delaney, everything is due on Feb. 3 including the ECR and the way to present it.
For Kyle, that is enough I think because you need two website sources and 1 book source.

thank you mrs Gamez

Mrs. Gamez

1/26/2011 11:52:38 am

First of all-

Ash, thanks so much for your answers to others, You Rock!

Yes, tomorrow the three sources, either printed out or the information for the references are due (author, publisher, date published, url, city, state). If you can print out the sources that would be best, if you can't you will need to gather the information directly from the website.

The ONLY thing due tomorrow is: your three sources-two web sources and one book source.

Amica-you need to do the research for your topic. When you find two web sources and one book source, you write down all the information you need for your reference page. I hope this helps.

Don't forget that I am offering my help after school. I had about 30 kids after school today who took advantage of the additional support. If you need the help, you need to come in. I also have some 6th and 7th grade tutors who are also providing help and support so there is plenty of help to go around.

I know this seems like a lot of work, but remember that you were given over two weeks to complete this. I have offered support in various different ways. There will be no extensions given. Please use your time wisely and ask questions if you don't understand. Good Luck! Hope you are all ready for tomorrow.

Mrs. Gamez

Mrs. Gamez

1/26/2011 11:55:37 am

In order to use google books you do the following:

1. Go to google.com
2. Type in google books
3. Put your topic in the search bar
4. Find a book you like
5. Click on the book picture
6. Click on about book
7. Take down info needed for reference

Hope this helps :)

Mrs. Gamez

Mrs. Gamez

1/26/2011 11:57:15 am

Lili,

Yes, that will be fine and sounds like a great topic.

Mrs. Gamez

Mrs Gamez- I tried to get the sheet use the sheet you happened to have on your website we were supposed to use for our project. You know the one that had the cover page, running head, and the references. Well anyway, I tried to get onto it and it wouldn't let me.

mmatamoros2

1/26/2011 12:31:32 pm

I trying to find a source on holocaust diseases and every time i try to search for something new it brings up the same websites that don't have the information i need and it gets fustrating so how am i suppost to find good online sources.

Mrs. Gamez

1/26/2011 12:40:45 pm

Skyler,

The problem may be that it was saved under the new Word format. I have resaved the paper in an RTF format so anybody should be able to access the documents now. Thanks for letting me know about your inability to open up the document. Please let me know if you still can't access the papers.

Mrs. Gamez

Mrs. Gamez

1/26/2011 12:46:43 pm

Max,

Use different search engines. Some to use include: Bing, MSN, Yahoo, Google.

You will also want to change the words you are using to search. Some different searches to try include: Holocaust diseases, concentration camps diseases, typhus, scabies, malnourishment, concentration camp illnesses, death during the holocaust.

Hope this helps.

Mrs. Gamez

etrainor1

1/26/2011 10:11:33 pm

hahaha. I found a book about 8 survivors from the holocaust. It tells about everything that happened to them!!!
Anyways, I was reading the book, and it says something about a kindertransporte. What's a kindertransporte?

JAnderson6

1/27/2011 07:51:58 am

I'm just double checking. Is the ECR due this upcoming Monday or next Monday?
I'm so confused about when every thing is due!

JAnderson6

1/27/2011 07:56:09 am

Also I didn't get a reasearch notes sheet and the document that you put on your site is too small. Do I just make my own?

JAnderson6

1/27/2011 08:28:36 am

Ah hah! never mind! I'm so blind! The notes were write in front of me!

JAnderson6

1/27/2011 09:11:57 am

Can I use 2 book sources? Cause' everyone & their mom uses yahoo, answers.com, blurtit ect.

JAnderson6

1/27/2011 09:20:46 am

sorry if I'm asking too many questions. I'm just sooo confused! :(

DVerro1

1/27/2011 09:21:38 am

I have 2 questions to ask....what the heck is the ECR suppose to be about...The Halacaust, our resorces or the stuff on our recorces?????? and how do u do the paperbag prodject i know the basics but i need spucifics...THANKS :)

JAnderson6

1/27/2011 09:28:03 am

I don't know any thing about the paperbag project. but i do know that your ECR is supposed to be about the topic that you either chose or the topic that you were assigned because you didn't choose a topic. hope that helps!

Mrs. Gamez

1/27/2011 09:29:21 am

Hi Syd. So glad to hear from you and I am sorry that you have been so ill. I hope that you are feeling better soon. We miss you and hope you get to come back soon. No need to apologize, I completely understand how frustrating it must be for you to not be able to be in school.

We are doing a presentation project that includes writing an ECR over different topics about World War II. I will have you start by thinking about what you might want to research and present on (some examples are concentration camps, hitler, nazis).

Let me know what you would like to do your project on and I will get you the rest of the papers you've missed.

Glad to hear from you. Feel better soon :)

Mrs. Gamez

Mrs. Gamez

1/27/2011 09:34:07 am

Hi Jazzmine,

I know that there is a lot to this project and I'm glad you found the due dates. If you open up the research notes, you can increase the size of the page by changing the view size-either up at the top of the toolbar or down at the bottom right hand corner of your screen. Hope this helps.

P.S.-Thanks for the response to Devon abover, You Rock!

Devon,

The ECR is over your topic. You need to use the research you found to write a detailed, fact based EC. There will be more guidance and instruction about this tomorrow. I will have the guidelines for the paperbag report for you tomorrow. Hope this helps.

Mrs. Gamez

JAnderson6

1/27/2011 09:40:00 am

Thank you!

JAnderson6

1/27/2011 09:46:59 am

I'm not trying to be annoying or any thing but i just now asked my mom about how i can't find another online source and she said to just do another book source but i haven't written any thing for research 2 yet cause' i'm not sure if doing another book source is okay. Is that okay?

JAnderson6

1/27/2011 09:52:58 am

i'm freaking out now cause' i don't think i'm going to get this research page done before i have to go to bed! -i get my bath at 7:30pm and go to bed at 8:00pm-

Mrs. Gamez

1/27/2011 09:58:40 am

Jazzmine,

I just want you to have three sources all together. If you couldn't find another online source, you are more than welcome to use another book source. Again, as long as you have three sources you will be fine.

Mrs. Gamez

1/27/2011 10:00:59 am

Mrs. Gamez

1/27/2011 10:03:46 am

The blog for this past week is due on Saturday. It is titled racism, prejudice and discrimination. I will post a new blog this Saturday.

Mrs. Gamez

SGallegos1

1/27/2011 10:42:05 am

First of all, thank you for uploading that webpage onto my flast-drive. Second of all, can I use the Diary of Anne Frank for my book? If not I have another resource. Thanks.

Mrs. Gamez

1/27/2011 10:55:58 am

Skylar,

You are very welcome, I was glad to do it for you :)

Yes, you may use the Diary of Anne Frank for your book.

Mrs. Gamez

Once again, what's the kindertransporte??is it like some route for jews or somthing?????

awilliams1

1/27/2011 12:03:33 pm

To Emri:
Im not sure if this helps but I read an article on something and it said stuff like,
About 2,000 children came to the Netherlands with the Kindertransporte between ect...
I think it means like a group that took in jewish children (maybe)? Im not sure but thats more of something about the backround I think.
:)
Sowy I wasnt that much help

Etrainor1

1/27/2011 12:16:02 pm

Hi mrs gamez. So when we do our final copies,the order we staple our pages in is....front page-title page,next few pages-ecr, last page-reference page.correct?

Etrainor1

1/27/2011 12:17:48 pm

K thanks amber

Mrs. Gamez

1/27/2011 01:01:23 pm

Amber,

You are right! Good job and thanks for responding to Emri-You Rock!

Emri, I completely missed your quetion-sorry- below is a further description on what it was all about.

Kindertransport (also Refugee Children Movement or "RCM'") is the name given to the rescue mission that took place nine months prior to the outbreak of World War II. The United Kingdom took in nearly 10,000 predominantly Jewish children from Nazi Germany, and the occupied territories of Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland and the Free City of Danzig. The children were placed in British foster homes, hostels, and farms.

Most of the rescued children survived the war.

You also pretty much have the correct order of how to staple the final report. I will give you all specific guidelines on that on Monday.

Mrs. Gamez

Etrainor1

1/27/2011 09:15:52 pm

OH!!!!okay

KNchole2

1/28/2011 07:04:46 am

Mrs.Gamez can i do Anne Frank and testing for my ECR or no?

KNichole2

1/28/2011 07:22:43 am

What size do the words have to be for our ECR's

Mrs. Gamez

1/28/2011 09:12:54 am

Kayle,

You can only do the one topic that you requested and that was assigned to you. Both those topics cannot be done in one ECR, it would be too difficult to do.

The font needs to be 12 point Times New Roman. All of these guidelines are in the paper requirements that I gave to you guys in class.

Hope this helps.

Mrs. Gamez

kwofford1

1/28/2011 09:26:33 am

Mrs.Gamez,how do i know if my online source is reliable? I was also wondering for the images of Bergen-Belsen do i have too not only have the picture do i have to give the website creadit?

kwofford1

1/28/2011 09:31:16 am

kwofford1

1/28/2011 09:32:40 am

first sorry for leaving a blank comment also do you want the refrence page with the first and second page?

etrainor1

1/28/2011 09:37:01 am

Hi Mrs.Gamez, im typing my ECR right now..... I was just looking at the Kindertransport though. Every single place on the computer it says it's spelled Kindertransport, but my book says Kindertransporte. Which one is it really?

kflowers6

1/28/2011 09:54:15 am

what if the website doesn't have the authors middle name initial?

etrainor1

1/28/2011 10:51:28 am

To Kflowers person,
If the website doesn't have the author's middle name initial, then probably just don't put it on there. I cam across 2 websites without dates when they were published, so for the date I just wrote (unknown).

kflowers6

1/28/2011 11:44:45 am

thanks etrainor u just helped me.

awilliams1

1/28/2011 11:46:33 am

To Kahlil Flowers:
Just put the name like if it was Krysia Diver (which is mine) and I dont know her middle name so I just put
Diver, Krysia
and thats it but thats just what I did and if you dont know what to put then i think she will allow that
hope that helps a little

awilliams1

1/28/2011 11:58:41 am

ok so I just got done with my ECR and I started wondering if I had to staple my title and referance page to my 1st or 2nd draft... do I?

awilliams1

1/28/2011 12:03:03 pm

And also are you supposed to put the sites in order based on the authors NAME alphabetically or the SITE alphabetically? I did the site but I wanted to make sure so I can fix it

awilliams1

1/28/2011 12:17:28 pm

so im not sure how this whole project thing works do we put all the info from our ECR onto our project? sorry for so many questions I just want to get the best grade i possibly can :)

Etrainor1

1/28/2011 01:16:39 pm

Austin(Austin right?)
on your last question,u dont have to put ALL ur ECR info on your project. It's nice to put some of it on there though. For example:I put that Hitler was a vegetarian on my project,but I didn't put it in my ECR. On my ECR, I put one of the ways Hitler killed people,but I didn't put that same way on my project......Ur project and ECR just have to be on the same topic and have SOME same info
(I hope this is right!!!!!!!!hehehe)

Etrainor1

1/28/2011 01:20:32 pm

Hi mrs.gamez. So do you spell kindertrandport like :kindertransport......or :kindertransporte???
My book says kindertransporte
The comp.says kindertransport

Etrainor1

1/28/2011 01:26:19 pm

Hi mrs.gamez! You know the plan thing you gave us that says something like research point 1,etc.?The paper with a bunch of squares? Well anyways,that's just a plan to help us,right?like we don't actually have to turn it in,do we?

Etrainor1

1/28/2011 01:29:01 pm

Hahaha....one last question! I'm also confused on how we alphabetize our thinga-ma-jigs. Website first?book first?or what

awilliams1

1/28/2011 01:42:50 pm

haha its amber not austin... im in 1st period with you! thats ok and thanks

awilliams1

1/28/2011 01:45:49 pm

and yes that can be your plan if you want it to be your plan but if you dont than feel free to do a different one that you like

Etrainor1

1/28/2011 10:13:48 pm

Haha,oops!Sorry amber!!!!!! :). Thanks

Mrs. Gamez

1/29/2011 01:43:41 am

Emri and Amber-Thanks for your responses to others-You both rock!

Kayla, you know if a site is reliable by being able to find contact information, creation date and you want to read the information to make sure the author does not have any reason to specifically highlight one side or the other. Do not use blogs or personal sites.

Emri-either spelling is fine. The e was eventually dropped, but they are both correct. You alphabetize your reference page by the first line in your source-this would either be the authors last name or the name of the site.

Amber-you staple your title page and reference page to your second draft.

Mrs. Gamez

Abito

1/29/2011 02:13:55 am

Mrs.Gamez what font are we supposed to use if we are writing the rough draft on the computer? from period 3.

dwhite1

1/29/2011 02:32:19 am

Mrs. Gamez, one of my websources authors does not tell his middle name so do I just leave it blank and skip it one my reference page?

kwofford1

1/29/2011 03:11:56 am

To abito the font you would use is 12 times new romen

dwhite1

1/29/2011 03:39:33 am

Mrs. Gamez, I have decided that one of my websources is not accurate. I'm still deciding, but if I believe that one of these powerpoints from somebody is accurate, could I use it for my websource?

dwhite1

1/29/2011 03:42:22 am

If you need the URL to look at it, it is http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/acsc/97-0609h.pdf

dwhite1

1/29/2011 03:43:30 am

Never mind, I found a better one

Abito

1/29/2011 04:30:57 am

Thanks.

Mrs. Gamez

1/29/2011 05:57:11 am

Dugan,

If a source doesnt have a middle name just leave it out (example: Smith, F.)

I'm glad you're making sure you are checking your sources and making sure they are reliable-great job!

Aaron,

Looks like your question got answered. Thanks Kayla-you're awesome!

Mrs. Gamez

dcross1

1/29/2011 07:57:16 am

Hi Mrs. Gamez. I didn't get to talk to you about my ECR on Friday since you were in a meeting. You told me in class you would give me some suggestions on what my ECR should be about. Do you have any suggestions????

awilliams1

1/29/2011 07:57:21 am

ok so i have my powerpoint-hyperlink done for my presentation so i can edit it through the week. So i have to save it to a flash drive when its done so i can save it on your computer?Thanks:)

Mrs. Gamez

1/29/2011 08:43:09 am

Hi Delaney,

Yes, I'm sorry, those meetings have been creeping up on us-so many lately. I think your topic was on Anne Franks family tree? Anyway, what I would do to further expand what you are doing is in your first paragraph discuss Anne Frank (who she was, what happened to her), in the second paragraph I think you can easily detail the concentration camps she was sent to and the final paragraph you can discuss the disease she died from. So your thesis points would be-who was Anne Frank, what the camps she was taken to were like, and what she died from.

I hope this helps, please let me know if you need further clarification.

Amber,
You are awesome! I'm glad you have been working so hard on your project, i'm sure it's going to be amazing. Yes, just save it to your flashdrive so I can put it in a file on my desktop. Great job on the hard work!

Mrs. Gamez

awilliams1

1/29/2011 08:48:48 am

and a hyper=link is fine right? because i think i got really good factsbut if im not allowed to do the hyperlink than i can just do the presentation without the hyperlink

Mrs. Gamez

1/29/2011 08:52:48 am

Amber,

I'm not sure if I get what you mean by hyperlink. Is your presentation a powerpoint? What is the hyperlink set up to? Is it another website, a video or file?

We may have to test it out on Monday, which is ok. I just want to make sure you are able to open up what you need to for your presentation.

Mrs. Gamez

dwhite1

1/29/2011 09:27:57 am

Mrs.Gamez, is the Historychannel.com a reliable source?

dwhite1

1/29/2011 09:42:07 am

Also, what would I put for the author of the History Channel in my reference page because I couldn't find any thing about the author of the person that started the History cahnnel. I even looked up on the URL who the founder of the History Channel was.

dwhite1

1/29/2011 09:45:13 am

Would it be wise for me to do my powerpoint first and then use those facts for my ECR?

nsteffes1

1/29/2011 10:18:58 am

Mrs. Gamez- I know this is not the right place to post but I need to post, and I couldn't post in the right place. Because I forgot to do it last week, I need to know the prompt from last week. So, can you post it so I don't lose any more points?

Mrs. Gamez

1/29/2011 10:23:15 am

Hi Dugan,

Yes, The History Channel is a great resource. I'm not surprised that you didn't find the author, it's usually hard to find that on those type of sites. You won't include an author name, you will put: The History Channel as the first entry for your reference.

Honestly, when it comes do doing your powerpoint and ECR the most important thing is that you have the outline done first and know what your three thesis points will be. Once you have that completed it really shouldn't make a difference which one you do first. Both of them will help you evaluate your information and will help in creating either part of the project.

Hope this helps.

Mrs. Gamez

1/29/2011 10:26:59 am

Hi mrs.gamez. I finished my project and ECR,but I still have a question......so I was just practicing on presenting my project,but even after I added sentences and words to my ECR and said it slower, it only took 2 minutes to present. Any ideas I may use in my project?(my topic is the holocaust.I already have down torture methods, a small bit of his death and the war, and the meaning of swastika,the jew symbol, and holocaust)

Etrainor1

1/29/2011 10:29:05 am

This is isaiah's I really like the way you have setup for the kids. To be able to blog and answer back to questuons. One question I do have is that isaiah is suppose to have a clip board. Where can i get this from.

Mrs. Gamez

1/29/2011 12:11:50 pm

Emri,

I am glad you got your work done-that's awesome :)

Isaiah,

That's awesome you got your two sources. If you're having trouble finding a third, we may have to look on the History Channel for you. I will be available for more help after school on Monday if you need it.

Mrs. Gamez

Mrs. Gamez

Hello Isaiah's mom :)

I am glad you like the website. I find it to be a great tool that the kids enjoy using.

I think what he needs is the poster board for the project. You can purchase those at Wal-Mart, Target, most craft stores. Please let me know if you have trouble finding them as I have a few extra in my classroom that he is welcome to have.

Nathen,

I did close the other blog. You may post your response under the current blog and I will make sure to count it for the previous week's response. Just make sure to title it Holocaust poetry so I know what response you are doing. Also, don't forget to do the one for last week, it's still open.

Mrs.gamez, are we aloud to use note cards to present our presentation? I'm not sure if I will, but maybe.

asnell1

1/30/2011 12:30:18 am

Hey Emri, Mrs. Gamez, how long is our presentation supposed to be and could some of that time be used to show how we presented our presentation.

JAnderson6

1/30/2011 04:39:33 am

Are we supposed to write an ECR for each research source?

lcraig5

1/30/2011 05:47:16 am

Mrs.Gamez I can't find the blog question.

Abito

Mrs. Gamez, answer me back as soon as possible please!!!!! Can we do out plan on the computer or do we have to write it. Thanks a bunch!

asnell1

1/30/2011 07:27:14 am

Sorry, I put out instead of our.

Mrs. Gamez

1/30/2011 07:35:21 am

Emri,
Yes, you are allowed to use notecards if you like, but they can only include bullet points.

Linda,
If you're looking for the new blog, I have not posted it yet. The one that was due last week is right below this blog.

Ash,
The presentation needs to be 3-5 minutes long. I'm not sure what you mean by "show how we presented our presentation." Can you clairfy that so that I may be able give you an answer on that?

Jazzmine,
No, you don't write an ECR for each source. You are writing one ECR. You need to fill out the research grid given in class (it can also e found under Class documents). You come up with three main points for your thesis statement. You then use your research to provide support for the three main points. The ECR is a regular 5 paragraph ECR. The paper outline can also be found under class documents. Hope this helps.

Aaron,
Oh no! I'm sorry you can't find your paper, that is not a good thing. We don't have many days left as the entire project is due on Thursday. You need to bring your rough drafts to class with you tomorrow so that we can edit and revise them. Do the best you can.

Kayle,
You're welcome! :)

Mrs. Gamez

asnell1

1/30/2011 07:41:13 am

Well, let's see... since I am doing diorama, can I just walk around with it to show how the concentration camps lookedlike or how the trains looked?

asnell1

1/30/2011 07:43:04 am

Are we allowed to type the plan or write it. I feel so lost!!!

Mrs. Gamez

1/30/2011 09:08:18 am

Ash,

Yes, you are allowed to walk around and show it, that's absolutely fine. You can either write or type the plan, either is fine. Don't stress, I'm sure you're doing fine. I will provide more help in class tomorrow and will be available after school as well.

Mrs. Gamez

Etrainor1

1/30/2011 09:09:36 am

Hey Ashley.I'm not sure if this helps much,but just to make it simple,hand wright the plan on the plan paper mrs gamez gave us.you know,the plan with a bunch of squares.handwrighting the plan on that paper just makes it a lil' more simple. :)
Hope this helps some!

1/30/2011 11:41:35 am

I finished! I'm so excited. Mrs. Gamez or anyone else, do you know how to put a video on a power point such as a youtube video?

Etrainor1

1/30/2011 12:00:38 pm

To Dugan------I'm not positive whether this'll work or not, but try attaching the u tube file to the PowerPoint.if that doesn't work, then try dragging the video onto your PowerPoint. I don't know if it works,but it's worth a shot!

Etrainor1

1/30/2011 12:12:31 pm

Dugan,
Another possible idea is to copy the video and paste it in ur PowerPoint thing

Mrs. Gamez

1/30/2011 12:31:41 pm

Dugan,

If you go onto youtube and type in "how to embed a video into PowerPoint" it will give you step by step directions on how to do it. This is the easiest way to "show" you as the video will give you directions along with a visual on how to do it.

Emri-thanks for your suggestions to Dugan :)

Sorry I haven't been on in a while, but I will give you an example of a hyperlink. If I put:
HITLER'S FAMILY
and so if I click on H in Hitler, it would go a fact that starts with an H. so that would continue with all the rest of the letters. If you dont get it still then I have a celebrety one on my computer file about a different topic. I can show you tomarrow on Tuesday during class when we are in the computer lab. Thanks!!!

Mrs. Gamez

2/1/2011 02:22:09 am

Amber,

Ok, got it. Yes, that should be ok as long as you hyperlinked your letters on your powerpoint. There shouldn't be an issue with it.

Mrs. Gamez

Mrs. Gamez, were we supposed to turn in our final copy yesterday? My parents got an email saying this "While checking papers last night, I saw that som people did not type their paper in 12 point font" (Mrs. Gamez's email). Were we supposed to type our draft... Write me as soon as possible! Thanks!!!:) P.S. I can't believe today was a snow day! Happy and sad at the same time. :) :(

Etrainor1

2/1/2011 06:19:21 am

To amber,
Well, Since today IS Tuesday and there's no school, you would HAVE to turn your final draft in on thursday with every thing else. :) but yes,the final copy is due on thursday February 3rd.

Mrs. Gamez

2/1/2011 07:24:00 am

Dugan,

We will be in the computer lab tomorrow so I would be more than happy to help you figure it out in class.

Kahlil,

You need to have both the final ECR and the presentation done by Thursday. Your ECR should not be on your PowerPoint. Let me know if you were asking something else.

Ash,

No, the final copy was not due yesterday, but many of those that did type up their rough draft did not type follow the correct format. The entire project is due on Thursday.

Mrs. Gamez

You can save them to a jump drive and print them from a desktop computer, or like it has been suggested, you can print them off during homework power hour or during class tomorrow.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions to Abri.

awilliams1

2/1/2011 09:41:03 am

to Deianara (Right?) dgregory
you can bring your flashdrive with everything on it. since we r going to the computer lab tomarrow you need to bring it and if you need something printed out than you can do it from the computer lab or mrs gamez's computer

Etrainor1

2/1/2011 09:49:24 am

Oh, haha sorry aubry :)

Etrainor1

2/1/2011 09:51:33 am

When we're at the computer lab tomorrow, is it for our projcects? Becaus if it is,then what will we do if we are done? Will I just research and read for fun since I'm done?

awilliams1

2/1/2011 09:53:04 am

Emri,
she will most likely tell us what to do if we are done, or we can ask her now... Mrs Gamez?

awilliams1

2/1/2011 09:54:03 am

or actually we can try to improve and edit or practice our presentations with someone else who is done.

Mrs. Gamez

2/1/2011 10:48:34 am

If you are done with everything I will have a ton more work for you all to do :) Actually, if you are done you can take more time to improve and edit or practice your presentation. If you finish that you may read. I'm glad to hear that so many of you are done with your projects. I'm very excited to see everybody's completed projects! Mrs. Gamez

asnell1

2/1/2011 10:58:15 am

Mrs. Gamez... I am working on my citing the sources page and I was wondering what you mean by "provide information". On the second page of your examples to format the ECR. HELP ME!!!!!

Mrs. Gamez

2/1/2011 11:08:28 am

Ash, That is only if you are specifically quoting any information from your source. For example: "Hitler was responsible for the deaths of many people, " (Smith, 2008). The sentence in quotes is a direct line taken from a source and the information in parentheses is the author or source name and the date. If you're not citing any sources, leave that out. You will delete that information on the sample page. Your ECR starts on page 2 after the title page. Hope this helps. Mrs. Gamez

asnell1

2/1/2011 11:11:06 am

Thank you SOOOOO much. Hope to see you tomorrow! :)

2/1/2011 11:01:34 pm

Now that we are off, how are we going to type our papers withput the newly-revised paper since I was going to get my paper on Wednesday.(Change of plans... bad snow)!!!

Mrs. Gamez

2/1/2011 11:51:30 pm

Amber, Yes, you may absolutely add music if you like. Ash, Yes, bad snow and cold is right. Rather than the entire project being due tomorrow, it will be due on Monday-which will give everyone the weekend for corrections and time to practice their presetations. We will still present Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Mrs. Gamez

do we get an extension for these days off

AKemp1

2/2/2011 01:20:39 am

Probably not because we should have done it yesterday and today.

awilliams1

2/2/2011 01:48:48 am

TO: Akemp1 and mmitchell we will get ann extansion... the entire project will be do monday, as you can see in mrs gamez's comment above. on monday, tuesday, and wednesday will be the presentations, but everything is due monday instead of thursday

awilliams1

2/2/2011 01:51:28 am

(CONTINUED) so you have the whole weekend to edit revise and practice whatever you need to do or complete. and to ABBEY KEMP: you will need as many items as you need to cover your topic for at least 4-6 minutes of presentation. or you can use all of the information you have

awilliams1

2/2/2011 02:05:55 am

(CONTINUED) again! anyways you can use all the information you have and if you have-say 3 minutes- than you probably either stick with that becaus thats all you info or research something that can cover the rest of the time

ok i am confused on the apa format thing. Also i cant figure put how to do anything on a 2003 version of word processer. So i need i little feedback on how to do it correctly. I have already looked at the sample page but i cant find things on how to do the project in word..........

awilliams1

2/2/2011 03:36:45 am

2/2/2011 03:59:12 am

If we have a snow day on Friday then is the prodject dew on Monday?

awilliams1

2/2/2011 04:01:44 am

TO DEVON VERRO:... If you read Mrs. Gamez's response, she commented that the entire project would be due on Monday and not tomarrow. Our presentation days would be Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

awilliams1

2/2/2011 04:03:04 am

And it would be that way even of we did have tomarrow at school, we would still have that new schedule.

etrainor1

2/2/2011 04:46:40 am

To AJ: On the APA format, you must have a title page first of all. You also need a running head at the top of the title page. Your whole ECR needs to be double spaced as well. Also, at the top right corner of every page, you'll need your last name and the page number. For example, if I was on page one it'd look like this: Trainor-1 You will then need a reference page in Alphabetical order. Sorry, this is a little hard to explain! =) Hope this helps!

well you can make a timeline saying when the diseases arose and another timeline showing when they died down if they did but it may not work im just giving a suggestion

To Dugan: You can do your timeline however you want.it's better to do it on a presentation than on an ECR, but you can do either. Also, if you don't want to present your timeline or put it in your ECR, you can jut put a timeline of your topic on a peice of paper and hand it in with the rest of your stuff. Hope this helps! :)

why do you need to change to a different camp? i think you need to see if thats a good idea because of how close we are to the end of this project but if you feel you need to then i would personally ask mrs gamez

awilliams1

Mrs. Gamez says if you require a certain date for a reason, and she hasn't chosen something for that date, than you most likely can. Right Mrs. Gamez?

TO ASHLEY You can do your timeline however you want. Your timeline topic would obviously be on your subject.like when it happened and the process of it all. I believe you do the format your own way. You may want to put it on a peice of paper. Or maybe you want to put all the different things on a peice of paper and cut it into strips. It doesn't matter.

Well, Devon...I too was trying to figure that question out to because Mrs. Gamez has not emailed my parents my day yet. I would assume she might tell us our days tomorrow and we would do presentations on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

TO DEVON ANDERSON - - - the dates posted arent all correct due to the snowdays. for example the whole project was SUPPOSED to be due thursday, but the snowdays prevented some people from getting there paper back so it has been moved to monday and our presentations will be monday through wednesday

Sorry for being away-I have been dealing with this terrible tonsilitis. Thanks again Amber for your help to everyone-you are awesome! Presentations will start tomorrow. I will email parents shortly the presentation dates for everyone. The entire project is ALL due tomorrow, regardless of when you present. I have heard from a few people about needed specific dates, those dates will be honored. I can't wait to see what you all came up with. Mrs. Gamez

What does our timeline hav to be about? Also how many evnts do we have to have?

asnell1

2/7/2011 11:00:37 am

Hi Abby, your timeline has to be about your topic or at least involving your topic. I would have at least 4 events on there because that is what I did. (I hope you enjoyed the pizza from today's basketball celebration)! ;)

To anyone STILL confused on the time line. Yes, there is a timeline due. If you have not turned it in already, then you are still losing points but may turn it in as soon as possible. Timelines include as much information as necessary on your project topic, and the dates should be included. After all, it's a TIME line.

Danderson1

2/7/2011 12:07:11 pm

Thanks Amber and Emri for making that clear. :)
